Well,looks like the Lil' Mass Murderer plead down.
Student Who Brought Camping Utensil to School Has Suspension Lifted Wednesday, October 14, 2009 BEAR, Del. — A Delaware first-grader who was facing 45 days in an alternative school as punishment for taking his favorite camping utensil to school can return to class after the school board made a hasty change granting him a reprieve. The seven-member Christina School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to reduce the punishment for kindergartners and first-graders who take weapons to school or commit violent offenses to a suspension ranging from three to five days. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,565640,00.html |

As a 6 year old in Cub Scouts he would be a Tiger. Zach would not be allowed to carry that Hobo knife to any Scout Meeting until he earned his Whittling Card while having a Bear rank.
That is three ranks up. http://www.geocities.com/~PACK215/wh...hip378x255.jpg That Hobo knife he carried to school wasn't a harmless eating tool.It has a 3.5"' stainless blade. I really am not sure why his parents would give a 6 year old a knife with a 3.5" blade to start with. His was very much like this one: http://www.cabelas.com/p-0032331516914a.shtml |
Can't wait til a second grader gets mommy to start whining on his behalf.
And the three parents go free despiute the urgent need for a a few slaps upside their empty heads. |
Of course, in Alabama, where 7th graders can light up a classmate by using a lighter to flame up some hairspray, they really are strict.
According to the Mobile County Public School Student Handbook and Code of Conduct, reckless endangerment is a Class C offense, punishable on first offense by a minimum three-day suspension and a maximum suspension of 11 days or more. The kid who got burned is in the hospital with second degree burns for this little stunt. I'm sure the parents of the two seventh graders will be starting up websites in no time. "What do you want? My boy yelled out "watch this!" first, just like his daddy does." :p Some have talked about the old days. Thing I recall about growing up was corporal punishment...earned more than a few swats in my time. You got the message loud and clear, even if you weren't the one getting the swats. The message from the last few days? Pure unadulturated crap and a perfect illustration of why our education system as a whole sucks. Again, just my opinion. |
This whole trend of getting a 'timeout' is really kind of silly without something more forceful to back it up. I used to like to take apart the appliances when I was that age - I would have used a timeout to think about how to get to the next one.**)
My teachers were never allowed to hit us, but a detention or a call home would more than likely result in some of that good ol'-fashioned physical abuse at home. Parents really need to stop thinking that their kid is the exception to every rule. Steve |

Not funny that someone got hurt but we did this idiocy all the time. I blame Bond. James Bond. :cool: |
Assolutely.
...and I still hold to my position that my brother got poked in the eyes 45 years ago because he didn't use Curley's side-handed block. |
One the first things I taught my daughters! (right after how to fetch me stuff from the fridge).

Rules are there as a guide. Trying to simplify everything to black and white usually causes more harm than good. People have to learn to deal with the gray area.
As for the 6-year old attending reform school....no doubt he will learn a lot of previously un-thought of uses for his knife/fork/spoon "utentsil". |
I hear ya (Dan40). Our principal used to have our entire school (1st-8th) sit under the big oak tree out front...all 75 or so of us. The groundskeeper (pretty much the same as Mr. Greenjeans) would start whittling away on a rough piece of oak board while our principal would tell us the rules for the year, and about our sports programs [sic]. About the time he finished up (about an hour or so), the groundskeeper would hand him the paddle for the year...a nice handle had been carved in, along with some holes in the flat bizness end to leave some nice red dots on one's ass (some years...they'd whistle a bit as it sliced through the air, Stuka-style).
Mr. Douglas had an arm on him. |
